Could Katie have been any less excited about both winning the leg, and winning the cars. She looked pissed.

I was hoping it was just the shock of actually winning a leg, but I dunno... maybe she was wondering how she would pay the taxes on it, or how many bodies she could store in the trunk. Big hair, big brain!

Those two really amaze me. "Coming into the race, we thought we'd win every leg, so winning zero has been a shock." Um, really? You think THAT much of yourselves? Unfortunately, they have a chance to win it because no one considers this "power couple" a threat.

I love those long pauses on the mat after Phil tells a team they are the last to arrive.
You just know that means non-elimination.

He usually says "I'm sorry to tell you that you've been eliminated from the race." If he says "I'm sorry to tell you that you're the last team to arrive.", generally it's a non-elim. Occasionally he continues "... and you've been eliminated from the race."

And to the Mom that said "We LED them here.": you could have pulled over to let them pass, and then you could have FOLLOWED them here and you would have still lost the footrace.

i was thinking that they should have tried to lose the other car in traffic, then make a mad dash for the pit stop. i'm never opposed to a good car chase!

i wonder who stole the backpack??? you would think it would be on camera, right?

Agreed on the car situation at the end. The hockey brothers had a good strategy. Follow them and beat them on a foot race. And one brother without a backpack could run even faster.

Which brings us to the stealing of the backpack. Like North Alabama, I'm surprised that it wasn't caught on camera. But I'm also surprised at the contestants that they don't have some sort of cable lock. At least he has his passport with him.

Does anybody know if he gets extra money to replace some of the things that were stolen?

She looked like that the entire episode. I forget if it was when they found out they were going to Dresden or when they had to drive to Berlin, but the country singers were yelling and jumping, and Katie just looked pissed.

I'm sure that once they've al settled in and there isn't much going on, the cameramen get to stop filming and get some rest as well.

My thought on the guys following the girls at the end was what if the girls find a place to park and there's not another spot close by? I wonder if the race has spots reserved near the different locations so we don't have to see them circling the block.

When they said that about "winning zero has been a shock.." I thought, "You only have to win one leg-ask last year's winners!"

Very good point. I'm going to guess that they do have designated parking spaces.

Even if the backpack wasn't caught on camera being stolen, you would think that the train is an enclosed space with very few spots to hide such a large backpack. Couldn't the brothers have just walked from car to car to find the backpack? It's not as if the person who stole it left the train. The thief was still on the train somewhere with the backpack. Unless the thief was prepared and unpacked the bag to stuff it and its contents into a different bag?

Big assumptions there.

We don't know how much time passed between the theft to when he noticed. The train could've made stops by then.

I think they were still in Switzerland, right? The trains there have more stops than you'd think.
